Mayflies, bugs and other stuff. Views are my own.

[Craig Macadam @bugsymac1]

@bscgscotland Nemouridae but can’t ID it from that angle

[Craig Macadam @bugsymac1]

@bscgscotland Yes, looks like it

[Craig Macadam @bugsymac1]

@bscgscotland Could be Gus! Would need to see the specimen to confirm though.

Collaborative poster with Buglife and NMNI, at @Ento25. Synthesis of fieldwork looking at under-explored freshwater ecosystems in Ireland, to fill in species knowledge gaps. Case study on riverflies, from NPWS funded project, Burren, Co. Clare. Thanks to many other contributors.

[Craig Macadam @bugsymac1]

@PJennings88 @Riverflies @Buzz_dont_tweet Gorgeous!

[Craig Macadam @bugsymac1]

@bscgscotland Serratella ignita

[Craig Macadam @bugsymac1]

@bscgscotland Yes that’s correct

[Craig Macadam @bugsymac1]

@bscgscotland Yes Isoperla grammatica

[Craig Macadam @bugsymac1]

@bscgscotland This one is Siphonoperla torrentium. Chloroperla has less dark markings on the head and pronotum

[Craig Macadam @bugsymac1]

@bscgscotland The mayfly is a male Baetis subimago. The stonefly looks like Chloroperla tripunctata rather then I. grammatica. The latter would have a pale longitudinal stripe on the pronotum

[Craig Macadam @bugsymac1]

@bscgscotland Another Baetis sp. A female this time so can’t get any further.

[Craig Macadam @bugsymac1]

@bscgscotland It’s one of the Baetis species. It has tiny hindwings at the base of the forewings.

[Craig Macadam @bugsymac1]

@bscgscotland @RareInverts6 It’s definitely Nemouridae but can’t ID further with the specimen

[Bathgate Thistle FC @bathgatethistle]

WE ARE GOING IN UP!!!! Other results went our way!!!

#MonTheJags

[Dave Strathearn @Strath83]

What a season @bathgatethistle. Never dreamed back to back promotions was possible back in August. A rollercoaster of a season right to the end!

Promotion, a cup semi final, and a run in the Scottish. Well done all involved 👏👏🍾🍾

Same again next year? 😜

[Craig Macadam @bugsymac1]

@bathgatethistle @Rovers1893 @EastScotlandFA Carolann and I will be there - what time do you want sponsors there?

[Helen M. Barber-James @HMBarberJames]

Do you love studying insects, and appreciate the value of museum entomology collections? We are looking for an Entomologist to join our growing team of Natural Science curators at the Ulster Museum. https://t.co/OV6m4CCxo8
